The fact that two genuine Chinese
lepers have been discovered in this
city, and, after being sent to the
Charity Hospital on

community, is causing a good deal
of agitation and a large amount of
indignation. It is a curious thing

whether it is contagious or not.
This being so, it appears that there
is no law to prevent a leper from as-

the public likes it or not. Dr. Ed-
son, of the Board of Health, is in
favor of establishing a hospital es-
for lepers, but whether the

All the rumors about the coining
retirement of Secretary Noble

have been revived this week. One
of the causes this was the state-
made by Secretary Foster
that Mr. Harrison would return to
Washington first week in
instead of remaining away
until the first of October as he had
originally contemplated, because
there was some very important
connected with the Interior
department that required his per-
attention. only question

so as the public knows,
that might be considered important
enough to require the personal at-
of Mr. Harrison is that of
compelling the cattle kings to
the Cherokee outlet, they
up to the present time quietly
ignored the orders Uncle Sam to
get out; but the general sentiment
seems to be that important
is naming the successor to
Secretary Noble and to
who are the two most
officials connected with
the department. Another
thing which is probably having Its
effect in making Mr. Harrison
his is, that be can
the wires for securing
gates to national convention,
should Blaine allow to continue
to think him self a candidate, to far
greater advantages in the White
House than anywhere else.
It is now absolutely certain that a
very large amount of the per
cent bonds will not be presented for
extension at per cent,
Foster is now his trust
in the belief that, the most the
bonds that will not be presented for
redemption and that they will come
slowly and small quantities.
Should he be wrong, and the most
these bonds presented re-

There are those who say that

Some inquiry into this business may
